"Some Secrets Don't Stay Buried"
In Bark, Nolan Bentley (Michael Weston) wakes up tied to a tree in the woods with no memory of how he got there. He encounters a mysterious and unhelpful stranger (A.J. Buckley) who engages him in a tense backandforth. As the story unfolds, Nolan's past and his dubious actions come to light, revealing his complex character. The film carefully balances thrilling tension with dark humor, especially through the verbal sparring between the two men.
